Pestival 2009

If you're cracking up at the prospect of the kids breaking up for the school summer holidays, take heart. There are lots of cherub freebies. This hot tip comes from the editor of Barkingside 21, who's into all things green. The Southbank Centre is going creepy crawly from 4 September to 6 September with Pestival 2009, "celebrating insects in art, and the art of being an insect". This neat little graphic depicts the Termite Pavilion, a jumbo reconstruction of a Namibian termite mound that you can enter to view its wonderful architecture from the inside. It will be in the Southbank Centre Square, one of a host of Pestival freebies to entertain the kiddies. Click the title link for a full list.
